You can pick them up at any Nissan or Infiniti dealer. Part #40224-JK00A

There is also an OEM replacement part by Dorman that is cheaper and looks identical in my opinion.

That part is true. The part was available but the dealers didn't know about it. They didn't issue an advisory until some months later after numerous complaints.

Nissan knew, they have the correct parts available. It was the dealers that screwed up and installed the wrong part.

If your dealer put them on then they are responsible for removing them and repairing/replacing any wheel that is damaged in the process.

I can't believe that you've had them on all this time! Mine broke the very first time I torqued the lugs. Too bad you didn't find this thread before it happened. I can sympathize, my dealer was...

The Easy-out isn't going to work. Use a special lug remover socket, I found mine at Pep-boys. It has sharpened threaded teeth that will bite onto the smooth surface of the broken lug with the use...

If the stud broke off that is an easy fix, they just bang it out and install a new stud. Sad that the dealerships are still installing the wrong locks! They are obviously not reading the TSB's. If...

All of us that were having problems had the sport wheels. It is possible that the non-sport might use the old 350 style lug nut. Easiest way to tell is to pull off one of the lug nuts while your...

Just ask for your money back, threaten them with small claims court if they resist. The locks are only like $50 on the courtesy parts web site, so they were trying to screw you anyway.

The taper helps to center the stud (not wheel). Probably not a huge deal when you have 4 other lugs already doing this, but it would have been better to get the ones from courtesy nissan.

That McGard part shouldn't really be used as it doesn't have the washer nor a tapered end.

Just stay with what you have until they can get the correct ones. Whatever you do don't let them install the 350Z ones (#999h1-a7009), you will both regret it!

You have no wheel locks, those are the standard lugs.

They charged you $169? They only cost around $40.

Hi AK,

Can you show some pics of the locks themselves? Should be able to tell by a visible inspection and comparison against a standard lug nut.
